Marie
We were sitting on the floor, in an empty apartment with only one box on the floor. I lay my head on Nina's shoulder and just let my eyes scan through the empty apartment. Karter and Josh were standing behind us, talking about football I guess?
"This is it huh?" I ask.
"Yup. We're finally saying goodbye to this place aren't we?" Nina mumbles.
Both the guys chuckle and sit down next to us, Karter next to me and Josh next to Nina.
"You girls are so dramatic. It's just an apartment." Josh says.
Nina hit
Marie"You know that you don't have to be so nice to me right?" I ask Karter as he places the Chinese food on my desk.Karter moves closer to me and wraps his arms around my waist, "I know but I want to be nice to you.""I'm legitimately excited to eat this right now." I say pointing to the food on my desk."I got it to make you happy. Also I figured you must be tired of eating those disgusting sandwiches from the cafeteria." Karter chuckles."You know me so well. I was so tired of those sandwiches." I smile.
Karter"You think we should tell her?" I ask all the sudden.Marie and I were in the car right now, on the way to my house. It was maybe 9, 10 pm."Tell who what?" Marie asked obviously confused.I glance at Marie before averting my attention back to the road ahead."Millie. Should we tell her about us?" I ask."What? I'm a little tipsy, I'm sorry my brain isn't functioning properly." Marie says.I chuckle and say, "Since you're officiall
Marie"Yes mom. I promise. You'll meet them very soon. They're coming with me on Christmas break." I tell my mother."Oh I'm excited and a little upset that I don't get to see you this week but very soon." My mom said.I smile, "Yes mom me too. We're just about to take off very soon. So I'll talk to you later?""Okay sweetheart. Have a safe flight. Take care. I love you."I smile once again, "I love you too mom.""Bye sweetie.""Bye." I say and hang up the phone. I put my phone in my bag as Karter comes and takes a seat next to me.We were on his private jet, on our way to London. Thanksgiving was two days away and we would be spending a week with Harry and his family. Millie was super excited to go to London and see her family, specifically her grandma and Aunt Emily."Someone loves England a lot." I say to Karter gesturing to Millie.He smiles, "She's always this excited. I mean she should be, s
Karter"Seriously sight seeing? I'm exhausted. Let me sleep Karter." Marie whines as I open the blinds allowing light to come into the room."Marie. You're in a foreign continent, foreign country, foreign city. I'm offering to show you everything I grew up with. So get your ass out of bed and into the shower." I say.Marie rolls over and faces me, "I'm very jetlagged and exhausted.""Marie. You can't waste the day laying in bed. Come on." I say in a calm tone. I take a seat next to her and smile at her, "Millie is spending the day at Emily's with Alex and Cece. I want to show you everything I grew up with. Just the two of us. Like a nice rom
Marie"Aww he was so cute." I say looking at the picture of Karter that Anne was showing me."Isn't he? Look at this one of him and Emily." Anne says."He was so adorable. He looks like a boy version of Millie." I say."I know. That's what everyone says." Anne smiles at me."You two were such cute kids Emily." I say to her.Emily smiles, "Weren't we? I guess we just had amazing genes."I look at Anne, "I agree with you.""Stop the flattering you two." Anne says while chuckling."Marie look at this picture of Kar on his first day of school. He wouldn't stop crying." Emily says.I take the picture from Emily and smile to myself, "He is so cute. I can't even."Emily and Anne giggle behind me, "Obviously you would say that. He's your boyfriend." Emily states."Well yeah. He is now. He wasn't when he was 4." I say."Marie here is your dear boyfrien
Karter"I had never seen my mum so mad. I mean do you blame her? Her son was high and had gotten three tattoos. She was so mad and let me not even get started on my dad. I could literally see smoke coming out of his ears, or maybe that was just the drugs." I chuckle.Marie was laying beside me chuckling, "Like why? Why did you do so much shit in your teens? Your parents probably threw a party once you left for college""They actually did." I said.Marie got up immediately, "No way! Really. Wow." Shelaughs.
MarieToday is our last day in England. We have to leave early in the morning tomorrow. It has been an amazing trip, London is even prettier then I had imagined.Right now Millie and I were in the garden, she was telling me how Cece and her had scared Emily so bad that she almost had a heart attack. Her words not mine but still it was pretty hilarious.We went back inside. Robin, Anne and Karter were in the living room and we joined them. I took a seat next Karter as Millie practically jumped in between Robin and Anne. She clearly enjoyed their company a lot. I glance at Karter to see him already staring at me."What?" I whisper.
Marie"Hold your horses! I'm coming alright?" I yell as I rush to the door. Someone kept ringing my doorbell like a mad man.I opened the door and there stood none other then Nina. She glares at me as she rests her right hand on her hip, "I rang like 15 times Marie! Would it kill you to answer the door I don't know quicker?""Sorry. I was in the bathroom. Plus weren't you supposed to come an hour later." I ask."Well I'm sorry I missed my best friend who I haven't seen in nearly three weeks. I'll just go back and come after an hour." Nina says angrily.I chuckle, "Stop don'
12 years laterMarieI felt a pair of arms tighten around my waist and a few kisses were being planted on my neck. I smile as my eyes slowly start to open.I turn the other way to be faced with a smiling Karter ,"Morning beautiful.""Good Morning handsome." I smile at him. I was still semi asleep."How'd you sleep?" Karter asks."The usual. Good." I smile."I'm going to go get started with breakfast okay?""Okay." I smile yet again."It's still early, rest for a while before the little rascals' wake up." Karter says as he places a kiss on top of my forehead."I will. Thanks babe." I smile."Anything for you." Karter flashes me one of his billion dollar smiles and walks to the bathroom.I really am the luckiest girl in the world. I turn the other side to see a few pictures on our bedside table. One was of Karter, Millie and I on our wedding day. Millie was just a little girl
Karter"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. Karter Allan, you may kiss your bride." The pastor says."Finally." I mumble before latching my lips onto Marie's.The rest of the audience start to clap and cheer for us. Marie and I smile into the kiss as we deepen the kiss. We pull away and look into each other’s eyes."I love you." I say."And I love you." Marie smiles.We walk down the aisle hand in hand with everyone cheering and clapping beside us. I was smiling so much that
Marie1 year laterOne thing I hate the most in this world is dieting. I just hate dieting. I hate it. Maybe I'm being a bit too cynical because I haven't eaten proper food in over a week now. I'm on a juice cleanse. I'm surviving on smoothies and boy do I hate them. Just one more day until I can eat solid food again. Thinking about it is making me so happy. Tomorrow is going to be magical not because I'm getting married but because I can finally eat junk again. Can tomorrow come by any faster."Marie? You can come out anytime today!" My mom yells from outside the bathroom. I was trying on my wedding dress right now. I forgot. I was lost in my thoughts."Just one second mom!" I say and quickly start to fit into my wedding dress.I zip myself in and walk out of the bathroom carefully. Can't ruin this dress, it's very important for tomorrow.Everyone outside gasps as soon as I step out of the bathroom. I give all of t
Karter"Come on. Get up sleepy head. Your friend's Cindy is coming over today remember? We can't have her here with you sleeping, can we?" I ask Millie.Millie jolts up in her bed, "Is Cindy here?" She asked sleepily."No she isn't but she'll be here in a while sweetheart. Why don't we go downstairs and eat breakfast or do you want to take a shower first?" I ask Millie."Breakfast." Millie mumbles rubbing her eyes."Okay then let's go downstairs. Come on." I get up and open my arms and pick up Millie who's still pretty sound asleep.
MarieI anxiously pace across my apartment waiting for Karter. Ugh. Why am I so nervous and freaked out? I need to calm down a little.There was a knock on my door and I immediately look up. Should I pretend like I'm not home so he can leave? No stop being ridiculous Marie.I kid you not, my hands were literally shaking as I held onto the doorknob. What is wrong with me? I need to calm down and take a breath before talking to Karter. He'll probably think I'm on drugs or something like that.I take a deep breath and unlock the door. Karter was standing there with a polite smile on his face."Hey." Karter greets me."Hi. Thanks for c
MarieHave you ever just stayed up all night because you were too lost in your thoughts? Well I have. All night I kept thinking about my life. I know this must sound so cliché and maybe I sound like such a romantic right now but all night one person was continuously on my mind and that person was Karter.Tonight, was nice. It was better than I expected honestly. But there has been one thing that has been on my mind the entire night. Even beforeLouis and Ellie came. Am I still in love with Karter? The real question should be did I ever even stop loving him? I forgave him, I know that I did.But do I still love him?…The next morning, I was awoken by phone buzzing by my side. God. I want to sleep. Scratch that. I need to sleep. Ugh. I press answer and press my phone to my ear."Hello?""M. Don't tell me you're still in bed right now." Nina warns."It's a Sunday and it's" I remove my phone f
KarterI quickly make a stop at the flower shop before heading over to Marie's place. She wanted to have the double date at her place and wanted to cook herself.I was really hoping this could just be a one to one date but Marie set her own conditions. I could always give Liam a call and tell him to make anexcuse and cancel but I can't do that. Marie is starting to trust me again, even something so little might make her change her mind for good. Can't letthat happen now can I? I need to respect her decision and understand that I can't always get what I want.I stand outsi
MarieGod, I hate Tuesdays. For me they're worse than Mondays. They just remind you that you still have an entire long ass week before your weekend starts off. Ugh. I hate leaving my warm and cozy bed. It's too hard for me.After my morning routine, I head outside. It's an awfully cold day today. Gosh I really wish I could go inside and crawl into my comfortable warmbed but duty calls.Since I switched branches as in since I left the headquarters to work at Carl's branch, I have to wake up way earlier in the morning as my current office is more then 45 minutes away from my apartment so that fucking sucks. I can't even sleep in five extra mi
KarterThe purpose of the last three months of my life can be summed up in a single word-realization. I realized several things in the past three months one of the them being that I'm a complete idiot. An asshole, a dick, an inconsiderate pig. Those are just few of many adjectives I would use to describe myself.At the beginning of this year, I had everything. I really did. Let me elaborate. My job was going great, I had met an amazing girl who accepted me for me and who made me open up to everything, my daughter had a motherly figure in her life who she looked up to, all my friends loved my girlfriend. Well everything was amazing because of one special person. I'm pretty sure you all know who that is.I'm still earning in millions, I still have my friends and my loving daughter by my side but my heart isn't truly happy with the stupid decisions I've made in the previous months. As any normal person would do after a break up, I started to isolat
